Question

The last time her drinking got this bad, she almost died...

and i'm not allowed to talk to her, so i can't tell her to stop...i've tried anyway and she doesn't listen...

Answer 1

I'm sorry that you are not allowed to see her. My only advice is that you should whenever you see her is reminder about her drinking problems. Sorry!!  

Answer 2

well just take all the drinks and crack them open and flush it down the toilet if she doesn't kill you for that your in the clear EDIT:is she at your house or or somewhere else and you found out?

Answer 3

Plan her funeral, Mabey this will wake her up.

Answer 4

Throw away all beer she buys tell her no more beer soda and water and juice are the ways to keep u healthy! if she goes in the trash can open the bottels and spill them outside or sell it to homless peopel lol just get it away from her

Answer 5

Ur not allowed to talk to her? Are u in a foster home? Cause if you are I feel your pain.. if not I still feel your pain.. my mom was a drunk, almost drank till she died. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do, an alcoholic will do as they please, hope for the best, I know I did.

Answer 6

You can only control your own actions.

All you can do is pray and hope she finds the strength in her self to decide to quit/ cut back. People can only change if they want to change themselves.

Good luck, and I hope I helped.

Answer 8

All you can do is pray for her & yourself-you can't make someone do something they don't want to

Answer 9

How old are you?  Is your dad available to talk with about this?  If not, I would speak with another adult you trust, perhaps a counselor at school when it starts up again.  Or maybe one of your grandparents, or aunt or uncle.  This is a heavy burden for you to carry alone.  And you must remember that your mom's drinking isn't about you.  It is a sickness and only she can make the choice of not to drink.  There are medicines out there that have to be prescribed by a doctor that will actually make her sick if she drinks any alcohol.  Good luck!
